Investigation of the adhesive strength in a combined compaction and back-injection process to produce back-injected self-reinforced composites (SRCs)
(2022-03-08)
This publication investigates the adhesion between an injection molded component and a self-reinforced composite (SRC) produced in a combined compaction and back-injection process to produce back-injected self-reinforced composites. To study the influence of the process, the parameters barrel temperature, time of injection, and tool temperature were varied. In addition, samples were taken at different positions along the flow path. In light of the orthotropic material behavior of SRCs, investigations were conducted ...

Holzdesign trifft Kunststofftechnik
(2022)
Werkstoffverbunde aus Holzgeweben in einer thermoplastischen Matrix verbinden die Idee des textilen Holzbaus mit der Faserverbundtechnologie. In einem Projekt werden Fassadenelemente aus solchen Wood Textile Composites hergestellt. Dabei spielt neben den mechanischen Anforderungen auch die gestalterische Seite und die Akzeptanz der zukünftigen Nutzer eine wichtige Rolle.

The effect of transglutaminase on physicochemical, microstructural, and organoleptic properties of low fat karish cheese
(2022-04-15)
Karish cheese is considered to be one of the most traditional Egyptian cheeses. It is manufactured from low-fat milk. It can be a key part of a healthy diet, especially for the elderly and those suffering from obesity-related illnesses. Low-fat cheese such as karish cheese has the problem of crumbly texture characteristics, which is the main problem for cheesemakers. This research aimed to improve the texture of karish cheese using transglutaminase (TGase), and to study the effects on cheese physical, microstructural, ...

The potential of red kidney beans and brown rice-based flakes for breakfast to reduce obesity
(2022-02-15)
Obesity has become one of the world's most important public health issues. This research aimed to produce healthy breakfast flakes made from red beans flour and brown rice flour to reduce obesity. Determination of the selected flakes product based on the hedonic test result which includes four formulas (F1, F2, F3, F4) with five attributes. Based on the results of the analysis of organoleptic data, formula F4 had the highest hedonic score, and there were significant differences in the attributes of taste, and texture ...

Impact of organic manuring on soil carbon sequestration under monoculture and perennial systems in tropical rainforest of Nigeria
(2022-02-15)
Organic carbon is a major indicator of soil health, which can contribute to a sustainable agroecosystem. In Africa, mismanagement of agricultural soils has depleted the organic carbon pool. The decline in soil organic carbon has important implications for food security and environmental sustainability. This study examined the impact of monoculture and perennial systems on soil carbon sequestration after fifteen years of cropping in a tropical rainforest of Nigeria. Agronomic management in the monocultures of maize ...

The role of crop protection products of multinational brands for agricultural sustainability in the cotton-growing zone in Pakistan
(2022-01-22)
Despite the use of Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) cotton in Pakistan, the country is still far behind in farm harvest per unit compared to other cotton-producing countries such as China and Turkey. Cotton is a pest-sensitive crop, and inappropriate crop protection products contribute to lower agricultural sustainability. This issue attracts additional attention in developing countries such as Pakistan, where generic formulation/sub-standard crop protection products are easily and abundantly available. However, the impact ...
